   It may be interesting to note that as of Sunday,
   when I was flying home from Rochester, Northwest
   was still specifically instructing passengers at
   checkin to *not* put computer equipment, cameras,
   etc in checked baggage, presumably because of the
   likelihood of damage or theft.  (They explicitly
   disclaim liability for damage or loss on those items
   and many others in their Contract of Carriage.)
